Historical Blackout Dates?

[virge]

Hi! I'm hoping to plan a 2014 Disney trip for 11/29-12/5 (Thanksgivng is the 27th, 2 days before we arrive). I'm pretty set on those dates so the lack of a discount won't keep us from those dates. However, I'm tossing around different ideas to reduce costs on the trip and one idea is to rent points. I would be really disappointed if we rented points and later a FD or RO discount came out for that week.

Mousesavers has a list of historical discount dates but it doesn't show blackout dates so I can't tell if my dates are traditionally blacked out. Does anyone know where I can find a list of historical black out dates?

Thanks!

oops, sorry didnt notice you said 2014

the pincode dates I have for this year start 2 days after thanksgiving, so your time is not a black out date for all promotions. I don't know what the general public offers are though.

It is hard to tell this far in advance whether or not there will be a discount for that time of year. You'll have a better idea of what discount might be offered for 2014 when we see what is offered for 2013. This year the dates of Nov 30 - Dec 4th were offered a bounce back discount to people who stayed in a WDW resort. We booked that. And pin codes were mailed out to people for that period, too. But the latest rumor has that time period excluded this year. We just have to wait and see.

Here's what I have written down for the past 2 years:

FD offer effective in 2011 if checking in on:
11/26-12/3, later changed to 11/26-12/1
12/11-17, later changed to 12/10-15

FD offer in 2012 if checking in on:
11/23-11/29
12/10-13

This year:
pincode includes 11/30-12/4
rumor for GP FD: doesn't include the week after Thanksgiving.
